Summary
In Apache CXF's DefaultEncryptingCodeDataProvider, a captured authorization code can be redeemed an unlimited number of times due to a flaw in the implementation of the removeCodeGrant functionality.
This violates the RFC requirement that "The authorization code MUST NOT be used more than once." Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.2.3 or 4.1.8 or 3.6.12, which fix this issue. The flaw exists due to an issue in the `removeCodeGrant` functionality, which fails to properly invalidate used authorization codes.
This can lead to unauthorized access or session hijacking, violating the security principle that authorization codes should only be used once. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 5.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N).
Weakness: CWE-613. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat build of Apache Camel for Spring Boot 4; Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7; Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Expansion Pack; Red Hat JBoss Web Server 5.
Will not fix / out of support: Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7; Red Hat JBoss Web Server 5. Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE.
